Who gives us comfort in all our troubles, so that we may be able to give comfort to others who are in trouble, through the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

For as we undergo more of the pain which Christ underwent, so through Christ does our comfort become greater.

But if we are troubled, it is for your comfort and salvation; or if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which takes effect through your quiet undergoing of the same troubles which we undergo:

You at the same time helping together by your prayer for us; so that for what has been given to us through a number of persons, praise may go up to God for us from all of them.

For he is the Yes to all the undertakings of God: and by him all the words of God are made certain and put into effect, to the glory of God through us.

But praise be to God who makes us strong to overcome in Christ, and makes clear through us in every place the value of the knowledge of him.

And this is the certain faith which we have in God through Christ:

For this reason, because we have been made servants of this new order, through the mercy given to us, we are strong:

For our preaching is not about ourselves, but about Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your servants through Jesus.

For we go through all things on account of you, because the greater the number to whom the grace is given, the greater is the praise to the glory of God.

So we are the representatives of Christ, as if God was making a request to you through us: we make our request to you, in the name of Christ, be at peace with God.

For the sorrow which God gives is the cause of salvation through a change of heart, in which there is no reason for grief: but the sorrow of the world is a cause of death.

For you see the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, how though he had wealth, he became poor on your account, so that through his need you might have wealth.

And with him we have sent a brother whose praise in the good news has gone through all the churches;

Your wealth being increased in everything, with a simple mind, causing praise to God through us.

For when, through this work of giving, they see what you are, they give glory to God for the way in which you have given yourselves to the good news of Christ, and for the wealth of your giving to them and to all;

And being let down in a basket from the wall through a window, I got free from his hands.

For he was feeble in that he was put to death on the cross, but he is living by the power of God. And we are feeble in him, but we will be living with him through the power of God in relation to you.
